Chapter 3380
General Guan is an Honest Man
...
Whether it was a misunderstanding or an accident, when Laimin, who led the army back to the city through the Brahman system, saw the family's ancestral home that had been wiped out, and Kusroy and others who came out of the family, he was shocked.
Thinking? Reasons?
None of that matters anymore; what you see is what you understand, and what you see must be real.
First, Kusroy summoned the core members of his family, then activated the city's cloud-like suppression, and now the family is bleeding profusely, with no familiar faces left alive.
Witnessing all this, even with his religious beliefs and deities, Raimin still displayed his anger, as well as the fury that came from the Brahmanical system.
The legion, which was already under the command of the Brahmanical system, did not hesitate when it heard Laimin's order. The legion commander, who had already entered the city, immediately chose to carry it out.
As the guardian legion under the Brahman, their existence over hundreds of years has made them accustomed to obeying the Brahman's orders, regardless of what those orders actually are.
Moreover, judging from the current situation, no one seems to have any problem with the order issued by Leming.
There have been untouchables who dared to defile Brahmins before, but never before have they been so audacious, nor so numerous.
However large or bold a person may be, if they offend the noble and sacred Brahmin, it is a capital offense!
“Although killing you lowly people will dirty my blade, the crimes you have committed are already an outrage to both gods and Buddhas. Under the watchful eye of Brahma, you lowly people will only suffer heavier sins in every lifetime!” As the commander of the Brahman Guard Legion, Utri drew his short sword and, under the gaze of the crowd, pronounced judgment on the entire Dawn Legion.
Without giving Kusroy a chance to explain or the Dawn Legion a time to refute, by launching an attack while the Dawn Legion's formation was in disarray and its personnel organization was not at its peak, victory could be achieved at minimal cost.
"Kill these lowly people, leave no one alive!" Utri, who at least understood what was happening on the scene, gave a very decisive order.
Everything that happened at the scene must be kept there, and all others who witnessed it, including himself, must die!
The noble Brahmins would not tolerate such a flaw, and would absolutely not allow such information to spread, thus damaging the sacredness and dignity of the Brahmins!
Having served the Brahmins since childhood, Utri never felt that his own life was particularly precious; upholding the Brahmins and protecting the Brahmins was what one should do in one's life.
The commanders and soldiers of the several guard legions that entered the city from outside were basically the same.
These individuals were among the most loyal and obedient to the Brahmins within the Brahmanical system.
In other words, these Brahmin legions, whose fighting strength was not particularly strong, were so loyal to the Brahmins that they had reached the point of blind loyalty.
Having learned about this legion beforehand, Kusroy knew that no amount of explanation would be of any use, given its blind loyalty.
Once the other party accepts the status quo, there will inevitably be a corresponding outcome, and that outcome will be decided between them.
"Since it's all for the Brahmins, then you might as well all die together." Kusroi took a deep breath, his previously unfocused gaze instantly sharpening, becoming cold and indifferent. Reaching out to grasp the spears the soldiers had already prepared, Kusroi, watching the rapidly approaching Brahmin soldiers, entered his battle mode.
Cold-blooded, ruthless, efficient, and bloodthirsty…
Sima Zhang and Cao He, having left Wuheyan's city, gathered outside the city.
With the help of the mountains to the north of Wuheyan, Sima Zhang and Cao He could stand on the mountain peaks and also see the city of Wuheyan in the distance.
Although I couldn't see clearly what was happening inside the city due to my physical condition, the smoke and lingering clouds inside were enough to tell me what was going on in the city.
"If nothing unexpected happens, this mission can be considered complete." Taking a cotton cloth from a soldier beside him and quickly washing off the bloodstains, Cao He looked at Sima Zhang, who was now quite clean, and his tone became much more relaxed.
Deep into enemy territory, skillfully taking advantage of their situation, exploiting the internal turmoil and weaknesses of the enemy to forcibly eliminate the top nobles within the enemy country—this was something Cao and En would never have considered before.
However, after this experience, they knew that such a thing was feasible. Conversely, remembering this experience could strengthen Cao Cao's forces in this regard and prevent similar incidents from happening again.
In any case, Cao Cao invested far more in preventing assassination attempts than other warlords in the country.
"Yes, the mission is complete. I just don't know whether it's Kusroy or the remnants of the Brahmin army who will survive this time." With his eyes fixed on the city, Sima Zhang was highly focused, hoping to get the result as soon as possible.
"It doesn't matter to me who survives anymore. I'll have to trouble you from now on." Cao He, no longer concerned about the survivors, was now thinking about how to bring his group of men back.
After causing such a huge incident, it's impossible for them to stay within the Kushan Empire.
Currently, there is a dispute and fighting between the Brahmins and the Kusroi, and there is no time to figure out the reasons. However, once the fighting stops, someone will surely investigate the reasons.
If they had stayed there at that time, they would have only brought disaster to others, especially those who were carrying out covert missions within the Kushan Empire.
"From Wuheyan's city, heading north, there are too many places to pass through. In addition, due to Cao Cao's influence in the north, it is almost impossible for you to cross over." Sima Zhang directly described the difficulties along the way, and his words basically suggested that Cao He give up the idea of heading north directly.
"So, we'll go east?" Cao He asked thoughtfully, his tone uncertain.
“That’s right. Although Rahul has amassed a large number of troops in the east in an attempt to engage the Han army, he has not managed to block all roads and paths…” Sima Zhang nodded slightly, directly explaining the evacuation route.
"Lord Cao also said that General Guan is an honest man. It seems I can take this opportunity to meet General Guan." After a quick mental review, confirming that this route was indeed safer, Cao He immediately agreed to the evacuation route and packed up to leave as quickly as possible. (End of Chapter)
